The Control preload was 200 mL water; the oat β-glucan preloads (MW1, MW2, MW3, MW4, OP1, and OP2) were added to 200 mL water. Values for protein, fat and total carbohydrate (Carb.) were provided by the sponsors (“na” = not available). Total dietary fiber was measured by Eurofins CLF Specialised Nutrition Testing Services GmBH, Professor-Wagner-Straße 11, D-61381 Friedrichsdorf, Germany. Values for MW and viscosity are means ± SD of quadruplicate measures. * PD = post-digestion.
